"It gets even worse if you eat high-fructose corn syrup, a very common sweetener used in packaged foods. Fructose increases LDL and does not improve HDL. A recent study showed that foods with a high glycemic index have a negative effect on HDL levels.98 If you have elevated triglycerides, you can eat all the whole grains that you want, although some diets, such as the popular Zone diet, present some provocative, controversial ideas that may be contrary to this. One of the best ways to achieve a high-fiber and low-fat diet is the vegan diet." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"Avoid simple sugars exposed to high temperatures, especially commercially pasteurized fruit juices and soda/soft drinks that contain high-fructose corn syrup. These foods contain high levels of dietary glycotoxins. Chapter 6 An Antiglycation Eating Plan In this chapter, we bring together the information and guidelines presented in chapter 5 and show you how easy it can be to follow an antiglycation eating plan. We realize that some of the foods and cooking methods may differ from what you are used to, so we recommend that you make changes gradually." - Steven V. Joyal, What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Diabetes: An Innovative Program to Prevent, Treat, and Beat This Controllable Disease (Get the book.)

"Our most prominent source of this damaging sugar is high-fructose corn syrup in soft drinks, which, according to the USDA Economic Research Service, comprised more than 25 percent of the beverages consumed by Americans in 1997. A 2005 study found that the low AGE content of a low-fat vegan diet could benefit diabetics.35 The Culture of Life anti-diabetogenic diet I employ is unprocessed, unheated, plant-source-only foods, and low-glycemic, meaning that the AGEs issue is rendered moot. It is thus optimal for reducing and eliminating diabetes and its complications." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "All of these factors contribute to cardiovascular disease—the leading cause of death among diabetics. high-fructose corn syrup has also been found to inhibit the action of white blood cells so that they are unable to defend the body against harmful foreign invaders.38 There are not any real accidents here. This is very straightforward, and is a clear and ongoing tragedy. The American Diabetes Association estimates that diabetes is costing about $132 billion a year. To put this cost in perspective: all the cancers together in United States cost about $171 billion a year." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "Data collected from the study of 51,603 nurses in the United States found that women who drank one serving of non-diet soda or fruit punch daily, which was sweetened with either sugar or high-fructose corn syrup, gained more weight, an average of 10.3 pounds, than women who drank less than one per month. The study was conducted over four years. In addition, the sugar consumers had an 82 percent increased risk of developing Type-2 diabetes. "The message is: Anyone who cares about their health or the health of their family would not consume these beverages," said Walter C." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.) "Per capita consumption of caloric sweeteners, mainly sucrose (table sugar made from cane and beets) and corn sweeteners (notably high-fructose corn syrup, or HFCS) increased 43 pounds, or 39 percent, between 1950-1959 and 2000. In 2000, each American consumed an average 152 pounds of caloric sweeteners. That amounted to more than two-fifths of a pound, or 52 teaspoons per person per day.16 This is something unheard of in human history. Dr. Thomas Cleave did a historical survey after World War II of indigenous cultures to which white sugar and white flour had been introduced." - Gabriel Cousens, There Is a Cure for Diabetes: The Tree of Life 21-Day+ Program (Get the book.)

"Avoid These high-fructose corn syrup hydrogenated and partially hydrogenated oils enriched and bleached flour artificial sweeteners (aspartame, saccharine, sucralose, acesulfame potassium, and cyclamate potassium) monosodium glutamate (MSG) modified cornstarch sugar bromate olestra (brand name Olean) colorings known as FD&C Red No. 3, Yellow No. 6, Blue No. 1, Blue No. 2, and Green No. 3 Stock Up on Organic Herbs and Spices When it comes to condiments and spices, we often resort to items that are full of preservatives, additives, and refined sugars." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "What's more, estimates suggest that 80 percent of the soy production in the United States is genetically modified and over half of the corn planted in the country has been genetically modified (which, by the way, contributes to the production of copious amounts of high-fructose corn syrup among other products). The jury is still out on what this could mean for human health and the environment. Apparently the only way you can be certain you are not eating a GM food is to eat only organic food, which is a great idea in any case." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.) "For example, regular ketchup and BBQ_sauce can be loaded with additives, especially high-fructose corn syrup. You can do so much better with just natural, organic spices and herbs. Organic sauces and condiments can also be found in many stores today. Healthy Seasonings lemon and lemon juice light soy sauce balsamic vinegar mustard chilies pepper garlic coarse salt Worcestershire sauce Beware of Genetically Modified Foods Genetically modified (GM) foods are foods produced from organisms that have had a part of their genetic makeup—their DNA?altered through genetic engineering." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

"Unfortunately, much of what we are eating or being advised to eat is high in the wrong kinds of fats, high-fructose corn syrup, additives, preservatives, dyes, and empty calories. So let's look at fats—which seem to be in everyone's favorite foods. Fats and Heart Disease Fats taste great, but some fats are good and others are bad. Simply put, you need enough good fats, no bad fats, and enough antioxidants to prevent any fat from oxidizing and damaging your blood vessels. Heart disease was rare in our country before 1920, but by the mid-1950s it became the leading cause of death." - Phuli Cohan, The Natural Hormone Makeover: 10 Steps to Rejuvenate Your Health and Rediscover Your Inner Glow (Get the book.)

"The subsidies are primarily for corn and soybeans, which are used to make high-fructose corn syrup, trans fats, and most of the raw materials for the fast foodjunk food, and processed food industry. Policy often overrides science in the end. The thinking that led us to believe the DRIs are suitable recommendations for what we need to operate optimally is no longer scientifically sound. Since the human genome has been deciphered, we now recognize that there is vast biochemical variability within the population. We all have unique nutritional and biochemical needs." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)

"It gets even worse if you eat high-fructose corn syrup, a very common sweetener used in packaged foods. Fructose increases LDL and does not improve HDL. A recent study showed that foods with a high glycemic index have a negative effect on HDL levels.98 Foods with a high glycemic index are those foods that raise blood sugar levels quickly. These foods include items such as white bread, refined cereals, white rice, and white flour pasta. These foods greatly stress blood sugar control and cause a rapid rise in blood sugar. In response, the body secretes insulin from the pancreas." - Tori Hudson, N.D., Women's Encyclopedia of Natural Medicine: Alternative Therapies and Integrative Medicine for Total Health and Wellness (Get the book.)

"Gas stations have become processed-corn stations: ethanol outside for your car and high-fructose corn syrup inside for you. « TRY NOT TO EAT ALONE. Americans are increasingly eating in solitude. Though there is research suggesting that light eaters will eat more when they dine with others (probably because they spend more time at the table), for people prone to overeating, communal meals tend to limit consumption, if only because we're less likely to stuff ourselves when others are watching." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.) "Because the small percentage of whole grains in the bread would render it that much less sweet than, say, all-white Wonder Bread—which scarcely waits to be chewed before transforming itself into glucose—the food scientists have added high-fructose corn syrup and honey to to make up the difference; to overcome the problematic heft and toothsomeness of a real whole grain bread, they've deployed "dough conditioners," including guar gum and the aforementioned azodicar-bonamide, to simulate the texture of supermarket white bread." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.) "Having retaken control of the meal from the food scientists and processors, you know exactly what is and is not in it: There are no questions about high-fructose corn syrup, or ethoxylated diglycerides, or partially hydrogenated soy oil, for the simple reason that you didn't ethoxylate or partially hydrogenate anything, nor did you add any additives. (Unless, that is, you're the kind of cook who starts with a can of Campbell's cream of mushroom soup, in which case all bets are off." - Michael Pollan, In Defense of Food: An Eater's Manifesto (Get the book.)

"Avoid those with artificial flavorings, artificial sweeteners, high-fructose corn syrup or trans fats. Try to find bars with less than 15 grams of sugar (even lower is better—some like Kashi® TLC bars have only 6 grams) and at least 2 grams of fiber. Finally, look for a bar that includes SuperFoods like oats, nuts, berries, ground flax, or other natural ingredients. Finally, limit your use of these bars to an occasional choice, say, when traveling, and not part of your daily routine." - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.) "Read the labels carefully to be sure you don't buy tomatoes with added sweetener like high-fructose corn syrup. 0 Nuts. Choose two or three types of nuts that you enjoy. Walnuts, almonds, and pistachios are three types that are delicious and very versatile. They can be in pieces or whole; it doesn't matter. Be sure to choose unsalted, dry roasted, or raw nuts. Nuts can go rancid so make sure you buy nuts from a store with a rapid turnover. Breakfast Cereals. If you are choosing a SuperFoods breakfast that features a cereal, put that cereal on your list." - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.) "Unfortunately, these days high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS) and regular corn syrup substitutes for real sugar. HFCS, a thick liquid sweetener made from cornstarch, first appeared around 1967 and now can be found in countless prepared foods. Intake of HFCS increased 100 percent between '67 and 1990 and its consumption exceeds the changes in intake of any other food or food group." - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.) "Foods that contain high-fructose corn syrup. This includes soft drinks, candy, cookies, pies, fruit drinks, ice cream, pastries, and sweet baked goods like cinnamon rolls. You'll also find HFCS in places where you might not expect them like condiments, frozen desserts, peanut butters, salad dressings, and even ketchup. A friend recently asked me about a recipe she followed for a simple pasta sauce that called for a can of diced tomatoes. When she tasted the sauce she was puzzled by its sweetness. I suggested she check the label on the can of diced tomatoes." - Wendy Bazilian, DRPH, MA, RD, Steven Pratt, MD, Kathy Matthews, Superfoods Rx Diet: Lose Weight with the Power of SuperNutrients (Get the book.)

"Make sure the cranberry juice is 100% fruit juice and not the kind that is sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup.)

"Excessive saturated fat piles up in body organs and clogs them to a halt. high-fructose corn syrup causes such severe insulin resistance that diabetes occurs easily. Humans should pay more attention to rat experiments. Get fructose in moderation from fresh fruit. Don't eat a level of this substance that we have no evolutionary or traditional dietary ability to process. At the levels consumed by sweet-addicted soft-drink consumers, high-fructose corn syrup is poison to the human body and should carry a skull-and-crossbones warning on the label." - Byron J. Richards, The Leptin Diet: How Fit Is Your Fat? (Get the book.) "The standard diet for making a rat diabetic is to feed it high-fructose corn syrup and excess saturated fat (with no essential fatty acids). Recently, scientists wondered which of these two ingredients was really inducing the diabetes, so they tested them separately. Not surprisingly, they both caused diabetes. Excessive saturated fat piles up in body organs and clogs them to a halt. high-fructose corn syrup causes such severe insulin resistance that diabetes occurs easily. Humans should pay more attention to rat experiments. Get fructose in moderation from fresh fruit." - Byron J. Richards, The Leptin Diet: How Fit Is Your Fat? (Get the book.)

"Some suggest that high-fructose corn syrup, which is widely used as an inexpensive sweetener in juice, soft drinks, and processed foods, might predispose people to diabetes. In animal research this sugar leads to insulin resistance and poor glucose tolerance.203 Until this controversy is sorted out, we discourage the consumption of foods and beverages containing high-fructose corn syrup. Another even scarier scenario involves the compound bisphenol A (BPA). You've probably never heard of this chemical, but the chances are very good that you have it circulating in your body." - Joe Graedon, M.S. and Teresa Graedon, Ph.D., Best Choices From the People's Pharmacy (Get the book.)

"Soda, and in fact almost all processed foods, contains high-fructose corn syrup (HFCS). Fructose goes straight to the liver and increases insulin resistance, which leads to diabetes. So-called "sports drinks" should be eliminated, since they are high in calories. Soda, juice, and energy and sports drinks contain empty calories that will make you fat; they also contain caffeine, which is addictive and makes you consume even more of those useless calories. If you are thirsty, drink water." - J. Douglas Bremner, Before You Take that Pill: Why the Drug Industry May Be Bad for Your Health (Get the book.)

"As a fellow former sugar junkie (believe me, I feel your pain), I'm very sorry to say this means NOT EATING the following versions or anything with these versions or varieties of sugar in any of your food: brown sugar, fructose, sucrose, glucose, maltose, succinate, molasses, date sugar, beet sugar, grape sugar, cane sugar, corn syrup, high-fructose corn syrup, corn sugar, fruit juice concentrate, sorbitol, barley malt, caramel, carob syrup, maltodextrin, dextran, dextrose, sorghum syrup." - Frank Lipman, Mollie Doyle, Spent: Revive: Stop Feeling Spent and Feel Great Again (Get the book.)

"Sugars in Any Form • ?High-fructose corn syrup ?* Sugar-laden foods • ?Candy, cookies, cereals, pastries,pies, etc., including honey, maple syrup, or molasses ?* Flour products, all types of flour • ?Bagels, breads, rolls, wraps, pastas, etc. ??Liquid sugar • ?Processed fruit juices, which are often loaded with sugars.Try juicing your own carrots, celery, and beets instead, or other fruit and vegetable combinations Sodas or any type of canned or bottled drinks with any type of sugar or sweetener ??" - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.) "Allergens Toxins •j* Sugar and high-fructose corn syrup -;?Saturated and trans fats Processed foods ??Chronic infections ??Alcohol, tobacco, drugs Once you have made a list of your various stressors, try to think of ways that you might eliminate them. In some cases, this is easy. For example, if you are sitting watching four hours of television a day or drinking half a bottle of wine every night, these might be physical stressors for you. Instead of watching TV you can take an hour to move your body or do something else that gives you energy." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.) "Bad Brain Food Versus Good Brain Food In chapter 4,1 explained the harmful effects of trans fats, high-fructose corn syrup and sugar, artificial sweeteners and food additives, as well as the dangers of hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, and heavy metals, in our food. I also reviewed the risks of caffeine and alcohol. Common sense and scientific research both lead us to the conclusion that if we want healthy bodies and healthy brains we must put in the right raw materials: real, whole, local, fresh, unadulterated, unprocessed, and chemical-, hormone-, and antibiotic-free food." - Mark Hyman MD, The UltraMind Solution: Fix Your Broken Brain by Healing Your Body First (Get the book.)
